The Jat was rightly furious and planned to get rid of her.

ਇਹੁ ਕਹਿ ਕਹੂੰ ਬੋਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਮਾਰੋ ॥

eihu keh kahoon bor kar maaro |

ਨਿਤ︀ਯ ਨਿਤ︀ਯ ਕੋ ਤਾਪੁ ਨਿਵਾਰੋ ॥੧੦॥

nitay nitay ko taap nivaaro |10|

He determined to kill her in water and, thus, become free of the daily skirmishes.(10)

ਤਿਹ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਸੋ ਇਹ ਭਾਤਿ ਬਖਾਨੀ ॥

ਜਨਮ ਧਾਮ ਨਹਿ ਜਾਹੁ ਅਯਾਨੀ ॥

janam dhaam neh jaahu ayaanee |

He designed a scheme and asked her not to go to her parental home,

ਕਰਿ ਡੋਰੀ ਤੁਮ ਕਹ ਮੈ ਦੈਹੋ ॥

kar ddoree tum keh mai daiho |

aun bhaakho yau hee utth jaiho |11|

As, he had suggested that he would give her a rope (to cross over the stream) 11

ਵਾ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਕੋ ਲੈ ਸੰਗਿ ਸਿਧਾਯੋ ॥

vaa triy ko lai sang sidhaayo |

ਚਲਤ ਚਲਤ ਸਰਤਾ ਤਟ ਆਯੋ ॥

chalat chalat sarataa tatt aayo |

But she said that she would definitely go and would go without the rope,

ਬਹੁਰਿ ਜਾਟ ਇਹ ਭਾਤਿ ਉਚਾਰੋ ॥

bahur jaatt ih bhaat uchaaro |

But she said that she would definitely go and would go without the rope,

ਸੁਨੁ ਅਬਲਾ ਤੈ ਬਚਨ ਹਮਾਰੋ ॥੧੨॥

sun abalaa tai bachan hamaaro |12|

Along with the woman, he reached the bank of the stream and the Jat asked her, ‘Listen to me,(12)

sukhee chalahu charr naav piyaaree |

Along with the woman, he reached the bank of the stream and the Jat asked her, ‘Listen to me,(12)

‘My beloved, I request you to go across on a boat.’

ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਕਹਿਯੋ ਬੈਲ ਪੂਛਿ ਗਹਿ ਜੈਹੌ ॥

triy kahiyo bail poochh geh jaihau |

ਅਬ ਹੀ ਪਾਰਿ ਨਦੀ ਕੇ ਹ੍ਵੈਹੌ ॥੧੩॥

ab hee paar nadee ke hvaihau |13|

The woman said, ‘No, I will go across by holding the tail of a bull.’(13)
